Casper

Casper is a leucistic Texas rat snake. He's pure white except for one single dark scale.

Casper died on 9/22/02. We were extremely sad at the passing of our "little goofball". We couldn't bear not having such a beautiful snake in our collection, so we purchased two baby leucistic Texas rat snakes (Casper II and Boo).

1/4/02 - Casper SHED! He looks great, and although the left eye is still somewhat larger than the other, the extra eye-cap is gone and he's a much happier camper. According to Elric at Reptiles Unlimited, the one eye was always a bit bigger than the other, so we're not worried any more.

12/01 - He had a bit of a problem with shedding - he's not shedding and he should be! Also, one eye looks larger than the other due to an eye-cap of skin from a previous shed (see Wile-E's page for more amusing shed stuff). His vision was terrible because of this. We're hoping that on the next shed (any day now), he'll lose the extra eye-cap and be back to normal.
